Uh oh... ;-) We debated this a few weeks ago and it turned into a completely unnecessary religious debate about how we like our window manager's set up, etc etc. Basically, the two opposing views are: 1) The GUI should be uniform across the two modes, so if we have double-click in editor mode, it should be double-click in browser mode too. 2) Single click would be nice, and it is worth breaking aforementioned uniformity to do so. Personally, I think it should be possible to place such a decision at the door of the end user, but no development, AFAIK, is being done in that direction at the moment. I don't think any more debate along these lines is necessary - the two opinions mentioned above are irreconcilable. Ewan Mellor.
